1 Introduction
Figure 1
This article is about one 492-page book that was published in Leipzig and Breslau in 1727.[1] It is written in German, not Latin, and its translated English title is “Museographia or Instruction to a Fair Notion and Useful Installment of Museums or Curiosity Cabinets.” The book contains descriptions of existing and former curiosity cabinets and libraries in Europe, listed alphabetically according to the town in which they are found. I read this book as a dialogue between two men. One, the author, Hamburg merchant Kaspar Friedrich Jencquel, or, with Pseudonym, Caspar Friedrich Neickelius, has carefully gathered a list of more than a hundred containers or boxes, as he calls them, “Behältnisse”, cabinets or musei, in which different collections of treasure are or have been shown. He organized his description of these musei, his “museographia” in four parts. His four parts are “curiosity cabinets, still existing”, former curiosity cabinets, libraries as collections of books, and general notes. The first three parts contain lists of cabinets or libraries; the fourth part gives advice on how to install your own cabinet, a kind of culmination and theoretical peak of the first three parts.
The second person involved in this endeavor, the commentator, was the town physician of Breslau and scholar of the plague, Johann Kanold. We know much more about him than we know about Jencquel, because Kanold was not only an author in his own right, and edited a journal that brought to light “curious and useful notes in natural and art history”, but he also has a biographical entry in Kestner’s dictionary of scholars of medicine, published not long after his death, in 1740 (Kestner, Med. Gelehrtenlexikon, Jena 1740, p. 439). Kanold lived from 1679 until his death in 1729 mostly in Breslau, the former capital of Silesia, the city now known as Wroclaw. According to Kanolds very revealing preface in the published book, the Breslau and Leipzig publisher Hubert had contacted Kanold, asking him to review and augment Jencquel’s manuscript. Kanold makes very clear in his preface who the expert is: he calls the author an illiterate and dilettant, alludes to him being a merchant, and states that Neickelius has never even visited the places he refers to. Kanold reveals that Neickelius had confessed to him that he had read 128 books to write this one, and Kanold, in order to ‘perfect’ a flawed study, has added scholarly footnotes with bibliographical information, where the author had not. Kanold also added more cabinets and libraries both at the end of each alphabetical letter, and at the end of the first three chapters. In short, Kanold was a fierce critic of the author, trying to set the perspective right about expertise, and inserting what he thought would make the book more readable according to academic standards.
Almost every page contains Kanold’s written comments. One page of this contested collaboration looks like figure 2, on the left, another like figure 2, on the right (red emphases A.G.).
Figure 2
In both cases, Jencquel’s text is located in the main section, while the footnotes beneath the divider are by Kanold. In the first example, Jencquel writes about the French treasure-cabinet at Amboise with the following words:
“In the regal castle at Amboise, the visitor finds among other oddities that are shown thereat an incredibly big deer antler, 18 feet long, with 22 antler points, weighing 6 centner [300 kg].”
Without sparing Jencquel, Kanold corrects this statement meticulously in the footnote: “This calculation is too large. The antler’s weight is only 40 pounds, according to the book Beschreibung des Königreichs Frankreich, p. 779 (edited Frankfurt and Leipzig 1689. 12)“.
In the second example, we see the end of the letter H and the beginning of the letter I. While Jencquel already goes on with descriptions of cabinets in Jena, Kanold adds in the large footnote area towns, starting with H, with curiosity cabinets that he thought Jencquel had missed. One of them is the Prussian town Halle on the Saale, where Kanold had studied medicine at University. Kanold mentioned foremost the cabinet of the councilor Hoffmann, and recalled some entertaining anecdotes that show his familiarity with this collector and his collection. In short Kanold both corrects and supplements Jencquels account.
In my article, I want to ask and answer the following question: How does this odd couple map out curiosity cabinets in Europe? Beyond a mere description, I want to give my article an analytic twist. Are there any classifications that the author and his corrector build up to describe their findings in a way that 18th century scholars would have called „scientific“, or in their words „literate“? Our way passes the spatial, geographic, map of the ideal dilettant or literate visitor and turns to another map with a different analytic function, the hierarchical, taxonomic map, such as Carolus Linneus and many before him drew for the field of natural history. I will show first, how the museums are grouped into specific show-cases; second, which curiosities belong to which group of displayed knowledge, and third, what are the criteria for a find being important. I will compare the text with the 1707 publication of Paul Jacob Marperger, a Saxon mercantilist, on curiosity cabinets, in a collected volume entitled „The Opened Chevalier’s Place… (Der Geöffnete Ritter-Platz…)“.
2 The organization of the book
Figure 3: Light blue: Wroclaw (Breslau) and Leipzig, where the book was published. Yellow: Jencquel’s list of cabinets of curiosities (out of chapter 1) with more than three published pages: Florence, Hamburg, Leiden, Paris, Rome, Venice, Vienna.
Red: Jencquel’s list of libraries (out of chapter 3) with more than three published pages: Wroclaw (Breslau), Leipzig, London, Paris, Vienna.
Figure 4: Figure 3 plus Dark blue: Kanold’s additions, where he writes more than three pages in the publication about one town: Franckfurt am Mayn, Nuernberg, Ulm (curiosity cabinets) and Copenhagen, Erfurt, and Jena (libraries).
My argument that the text contains two different hierarchical readings, one by Jencquel, the other by Kanold, rests on the organization and scope of the book itself. Both authors have different intentions with their mapping. The merchant amateur is keen on spreading examples and providing easy tools to enable anyone „with a philosophic mind“, as he calls it, to build their own curiosity cabinet, rarity chamber or museum, as he calls them. The physician, on the other hand, wants to give an expert and first-hand account of which cabinets contain interesting samples of nature and art. He uses his correspondence with cabinet owners and fellow physicians to give up to the minute information, and legitimizes the book academically by setting footnotes and adding his correspondence network.
I have fitted the quantitatively longest entries of the first and the third chapters on existing curiosity cabinets and existing libraries into a map of Europe, to show the spatial reach of Jencquel’s undertaking. Of his 110 entries in chapter one, Jencquel dedicates three published pages or more to curiosity cabinets in Florence, Hamburg, Leiden, Paris, Rome, Vienna, and Venice. Hamburg has a special status, because the author is very enthusiastic about his home town, giving almost a guided tour around its architectonical and historically important buildings, such as churches, which contained treasures. Jencquel’s entries of three pages or more for towns with libraries in chapter three overlap with chapter one twice, by talking about Paris and Vienna. Otherwise, he gives the largest spaces to Breslau, Leipzig, and London. The total number of towns and regions with libraries mentions is 185.
Kanold, in his turn, adds an appendix in both cases. His appendices contain few very detailed inventories. For curiosity cabinets, he writes three published pages or more on Frankfurt on Main, Nürnberg, and Ulm, out of added information in 16 towns in the appendix, and 34 in the footnotes. In the case of libraries, he writes three or more pages for three towns, Copenhagen, Erfurt, and Jena, out of added information in 18 towns.
Kanold’s most spacious additions are listed inventories which he received mostly from his correspondence partners all over Germany, whereas Jencquel had tried to fit most European centres into his map, with overviews about cabinets and little narratives about the most important rarities therein.
3 The hierarchical tables
Jencquel coins a very distinct vocabulary for his ideal visitor, whom he names „the curious“ and for what the curious is interested to visit, „rarities“. Both terms have a clear meaning and a long history among collectors: the curious loves what he or she is doing, and he feels aesthetic pleasure in seeing something rare, out of the usual. For Jencquel, organization of the chamber according to natural scientific rules is not important. For example, he does not have a problem with stating, that the Florence Palazzo Vecchio has a sword in the armory and a sword in room five. He connects rarity, beauty, and commercial value of the objects in display. In his last chapter, where he tells his reader more about his terminology, he describes rarity in the following way (p. 407):
Figure 5, above: Jencquel; below: Kanold.
“A rarity, however, is called 1) what of all three realms of nature is very sparse and seldom found in our regions, or what has been collected in far away lands, and 3) [sic] what has been drawn up and manufactured by the hands of an artistic master. Both have in addition their special observations, because for example the less this or that piece of nature comes into our sight, and especially the other-natural or monstrous creatures, that is when they have rareness and also an externally magnificent look, as a diamond, carbuncle etc. the same also with the artificial or artistic things, the harder or softer the material is, for example, pictures carved in solid rocks, or in tender rice or barley corns; the bigger and more subtle for example a colossus or a cherry pit with about 180 faces of men etc., the higher rises the esteem and rarity of every object.”
Kanold the physician adopts a very different taxonomy. With the help of inventories and correspondence, he guides the reader to discover novel objects and to explore their significance. For example, he writes in an annotation to Jencquel’s entry for the Netherlandish university town „Leiden“ that the collections of the physician Albini in Leiden contained a high quantity of the root „Ginseng“. Kanold goes on to say that Albini had received this large amount from the King of Prussia to experiment with the powers of the plant. Albini, Kanold write, had discovered that there was not more in it than what he noticed by chewing it. The powers of Ginseng thus, according to Albini, were comparable to, and I cite Kanold, „our limp turnips“. (p. 62)
Figure 6
Although Kanold does not say anything against the amateur as a visitor of curiosity cabinets, and even helps to expand the number of potential visitors by contributing to a book written in German, when it comes to explaining objects he has a sense of an expert culture, or as Michael Hagner in the book The Sciences in Enlightened Europe (1999, p. 176) puts it, a connoisseur culture, which he sees as exploratory – seeking knowledge connected to an idea of the established and material order of things in nature and culture. Unlike another German contemporary, the educator Paul Jacob Marperger, who had already published a manual on how to build a curiosity cabinet in 1707, Kanold did not narrow down the circle of experts to those who had studied physics. Marperger, who had a general education in view, thought that people with an educational background in physics would be best suited as curators of rich men’s and royal cabinets, because they would be able to organize those cabinets correctly, show them to interested people, and give public lectures on them at least twice a week. On the contrary, Kanold included in his broadly defined category of the „literate“ all people with a university education in the arts, and presented as a most distinguishing sign their knowledge of Latin. He did not talk about a professional class of curators, at all. His correspondence network shows that possessors of curiosity cabinets included court counsellors, town secretaries, church ministers, librarians, the nobility, merchants, physicians, teachers and apothecaries.
4 Conclusion
What can we conclude of this? First: All three authors have different ideas about who knows about or who should be responsible for curiosity cabinets. Marperger digs the deepest ditch between the physicist as educator and the public, and puts him on the highest pedestal, whereas Jencquel maintains that everybody can make a curiosity cabinet. He has a more entrepreneurial attitude about this. He says that with a good manual and with good background knowledge, everybody may arrange a cabinet as they wish. One should not be narrowminded about what to display; the most important criterion is that an object is rare, and it is easy to find out if something is rare: rare is what is not easily found in the region where you live in. Kanold the physician, with his own scientific research and his interest in new findings, looks not so much at the container or cabinet as a whole, but towards the single object. It is not so much rarity he is interested in as a certain novelty of the finding when seen in a scientific context. So we have rarity, we have novelty, and we have order in the case of the educator – rarity, novelty, order.
We also have men from three different social groups, the physician, the merchant and the educator, talking about the same thing from different perspectives. Are we seeing here something emerging – for example a closeness or openness of the different university faculties, which would make Kanold the most conservative, the one who sees the disciplines still all together, whereas the educator Marperger is the most novel, because he sees a gap between the sciences, between those who know physics, and the rest of the world. And finally, the merchant belongs to a rising class in society, a class that comes with its own ideas and interests, and wants to pursue them. The groups which he represents also have a certain idea of what they do and do not need, and rarity seems to be one of their most important desires. The analysis of Jencquel’s book shows that questions originating in the materiality of object collections, their visitors and their expected taxonomies may lead to discussions of a larger context of social change in, what we need to define, as a new knowledge society.

6 Appendix
The appendix contains a rough transcription of towns and mentioned collections out of Jencquel’s chapters 1 (cabinets of curiosities), 2 (former cabinets of curiosities), and 3 (libraries). Kanold’s footnotes and appendices are separately listed. This appendix is a work in progress: the plan is to research each collection separately and link a specific website-page for each collection to the entry in the table. The website-pages will contain not only the original transcript of the passages in Museographia and their paraphrased translations, but also literature, pictures and other information that explain more of the context. The endproduct will map out curiosity cabinets, libraries and their interplays on different levels throughout Europe with an emphasis on territories that today belong to Poland.
